SPAAK’S HOPES
Prospects At Talks (N.Z.P.A .-Reuter—Copyright) BRUSSELS. July 30. The Belgian Foreign Minister (Mr Spaak) said today he was hopeful about prospects for a ‘‘reconciliation’’ in the British Common Market Ministerial talks. The Ministers are deadlocked on the problem of guaranteed European markers for Commonwealth foodstuffs, if Britain joins the Six. Mr Spaak said the talks had reached the “central problem” to be solved. He said: “But it does not seem to me at all that there should not be a way out. which would reconcile these opposed views.’’ Commonwealth representatives in Brussels were’ very careful today not to commit themselves by comments on the latest Ministerial talks. A New Zealand representative said not too much importance should be attached to the temporary halt in the talks. He expressed the hope that New Zealand would have a reasonably specific undertaking that she would be able to continue to trade to an extent no. less favourable than in the past.
